Description
Emerging markets bring a unique set of risks and opportunities.
Established markets are far more predictable, but still have their own challenges. Which is best for you? Please join our keynote speaker and panel of international experts who will share insights into doing business around the world.
About our Keynote Speaker, Jonathan Blue, Chairman & Managing Director, Blue Equity LLC:
After working as a management consultant in New York City, Jonathan Blue returned to Louisville and joined the Blue Family business in the early 1990’s. He oversaw an expansion that led the company’s transformation into one of the largest suppliers to railroads, while also adding a railcar leasing entity. The company was eventually sold to the largest processor of railroad materials in the world, Progress Rail Services Corporation. The business is now owned by Caterpillar (CAT-NYSE). From that sale, liquidity was generated to invest in and launch new entities. In 2004, after building a portfolio of businesses in media, publishing, and financial services, Jonathan founded a successor entity, Blue Equity, LLC. Blue Equity has since become a leading private equity firm with diversified holdings in a wide-range of industries and real estate. Since inception, the company has invested in and had success with several business ventures worldwide.
